close your eyes and say to yourself now i am and look at all your stuff and just let it be [Music] don't wish it any other way than it is and just say i am and allow your personality all your problems your body and all its problems your social scene and economic scene and all its problems see it all as just the workings of nature like trees grow and trees die and rivers and fish and brooks and fall just look at it all and allow its space and see that within it all i am i am [Music] [Music] [Music] hello my name is greg braden and i'd like to welcome you to this all-new presentation of the divine matrix bridging time space miracles and belief in the last episode we saw how the course of world events follows natural cycles that can be known and calculated as what we call fractal time well in this episode we'll apply these very principles on a personal level as we discover the cyclic patterns of our relationships and the choice points for the most potent opportunities of positive change in our lives [Music] by sharing my experience you can see parallels i'm not saying exactly the same thing has happened in your life but maybe you can see parallels in your life and begin to apply how these things work the pattern was the same it was playing out again the pattern of loss and betrayal the next time this pattern showed up in my life was the last time and that's the really good news of being able to recognize these patterns i was 44. 99 years old when this pattern repeated in my life so from the time that my father left at the age of 11 until the age of 44 those essentially three decades is where the pattern repeated again and again until i had the wisdom to recognize it at the age of 44. 99 years there was again a loss and betrayal it was a business betrayal followed by the healing of a friendship and the healing of that business relationship and that is what changed the pattern the loss occurred but i had changed the way that i perceived the loss in the past i had simply cut the ties with those relationships and moved on and this time i did something different this time i went back and i talked to these people and i said you know look we have a history we're friends we've been through this together what's happening and it was the the ability to consciously communicate in a way without judgment and there's a whole story a whole workshop about how i arrived at that place has to do with the mirrors of relationship but it was my ability to reconcile what had happened without the judgment that freed me from the cycle now i just want to talk to you a little bit about how this works because it's fascinating i mentioned that the patterns are repeat again and again until something changes the patterns one of the things that allows those patterns to repeat and i'm going to go back to the mirrors one of the things that allows those mirrors to show up again and again and again in our lives the mirror of judgment for example it is the judgment itself the judgment when we judge our experiences that judgment is like a magnet it is an energetic magnet that promises that the same experience will come to you again and again and again until you demagnetize the experience until you release that judgment once you do and this is so powerful once you release the judgment of one experience in one relationship and one place in your life there is what is called the cascade effect the cascade effect is you will see the ripples of that healing permeate all the other relationships in your life that are based on that same principle so the judgment in a business relationship for example once it's healed or the judgment in an intimate relationship with a partner or a spouse or with a sibling once that's healed that healing ripples throughout your work it throughout your friendships throughout your business relationships throughout every relationship you have without going to each relationship individually and saying okay this one's healed okay this one's healed this one's healed this is the value of understanding these patterns in our lives so at the age of 44.
99 years i healed the judgment of loss and betrayal and what it had meant in my life and the moment that i did that that pattern shifted i had created a seed for a new cycle and the seed is what sets into motion a pattern of energy that will repeat on a rhythmic basis until something changes the pattern or maybe you don't want to change the pattern if you've changed the pattern in a healthy way to abundance and success and trust then there's every reason to believe that that pattern will continue in your life again and again and again until something changes and if you don't want to change that pattern it doesn't have to change i want to give you some examples of really good things that can happen from these kinds of changes as well because the fractal cycles work for good and beautiful and powerful and positive changes as well as the deeply significant emotional changes of loss and betrayal after my father left our family my mother my younger brother and i he's four years younger we were left to be a family on our own it was completely unexpected at least to my mother and i'll just tell you as i mentioned earlier it was an abusive alcoholic very dysfunctional family so for me even though it was about loss of betrayal i was not that unhappy when my father left because we had relief in the family on the one hand and on the other hand things changed for me and this was back in the 1960s we had no money my mother had been a homemaker and a parent she had not been in the workplace and she found herself going back into the workplace and found how difficult it was to make enough money to cover the expenses for a household and two young boys and i went to work at an early age to help contribute to that i remember the very first time the very first time that our supervisor handed me a physical paycheck and he looked at me and what he said to me he said this is a man's wage for a man's work a man's weight for a man's work and it gave me the freedom to contribute to my family and it set into motion a powerful seed for me and that seed has continued with me throughout my life it was the seed of abundance and success because i understood that by my work something good could come from that i'm gonna just share something else with you and this is very personal at the age of 11 when the family broke up my mom gave me a book and she said i think this book will help you through a difficult time and many of you i know know this book it was a book that was called the prophet and it was written by a man called khalil gibran very very powerful book each chapter was just a couple of paragraphs or maybe a couple of pages but they spoke volumes to me and i remember there was a chapter on work from khalil gibran he ended that chapter by simply stating work is love made visible work is love made visible that meant something to me and that became my anchor in life and every job that i took whether i was loading box cars with cat litter in 50 pound bags or working in a copper mill or working in a fabric mill or working in a restaurant no matter what it was for me it wasn't about the work it was about my love made visible how good of a job could i do no matter what i was doing and that thinking that thinking is part of what this seed was all about it's why that paycheck at 16 was so important so i just want to share with you at 16 years old i planted the seed for abundance and success and that seed continued at the age of 25. 88 years i had my first corporate position i was hired to work in the corporations as a geologist and i've shared that story with you from what happened in the universities the next fractal and that 25. 88 it's exactly on the fractal cycle the next fractal cycle using the time code calculator the next age was exactly 35.
7 years 35. 7 years is a very significant year for me i was working in the corporations during the cold war i was a software designer and i received an award for the job that myself and my department had accomplished during that time and the invitation to continue with another project and i knew that i would not be there to see that project through that was the year i left the corporations and began writing full time and exploring the principles that you and i are talking about today it's exactly when it happened my next fractal cycle was the age of 45. 6 at 45.
6 the fruits of my labor from leaving the corporations unfolded as my first corporate publishing offer it was at that time random house offered me a publishing contract i had self-published two books they were successful enough for random house to come and invite me to to write a third book with them as i say the rest is history so i'm giving you examples all these things i just shared you can see them on the time code calculator when i planted that seed of abundance and success at the age of 16 i set into motion a pattern of energy and that pattern is a pattern that stayed with me on another level beyond the hurt beyond the loss beyond the betrayal because these patterns play out this way in our lives they play out again and again and again now i want to mention something about these personal patterns it also applies to the global patterns that we talked about earlier because nature doesn't turn on a dime you know i had a supervisor once and he said change in the world is kind of like change on a big ship on the ocean he'd been a navy captain during the vietnam war and he said you know when a battleship wants to turn around and go back the other way it doesn't turn on a dime it makes a big long slow turn to begin going back the other way our cycles tend to work this way as well they don't end at midnight on a specific day just because the cycle says it ends what's really interesting and again this applies to your personal cycles as well as global cycles is that there is a buffer that i mentioned in the last episode what i did not mention then and i'd like to share with you now is how to calculate that buffer what it's determined by the buffer between when one cycle ends and the next begins where that choice point lies it is determined by a factor of how long the original cycle is and i want to give you the number for that factor so the factor that is applied to the length of the previous cycle is a fraction it is point zero zero seven zero two four three i'm going to say this again point 0.
